Windows 7 theme for Windows XP





 
This theme contains 4 sub-styles:
  • Aero32 (for 32x icon size)
  • Aero48 (for 48x icon size)
  • Bottom32 (for 32x icon size)
  • Bottom48 (for 48x icon size)
Aero32 and Aero48 contain left common tasks in Explorer. On the other hand, Bottom32 and Bottom48 contain bottom common tasks. So feel free to use whichever do you want.
HOW TO USE:
1. Download the file and extract its content. You'll get a folder "SevenVG Refresh Theme for Windows XP by Vishal Gupta".
2. In this folder, you'll get 3 more folders:
=> Fonts (This folder contains Segoe UI fonts required for the theme. Run Fonts.exe file to install them.)
=> Styler Toolbar (This folder contains Styler setup and SevenVG styler toolbar skin. It'll provide Windows 7 look-a-like toolbar and commandbar in Explorer.)
=> Theme (This folder contains the main theme. Run Theme.exe file to install it.)
3. Apply the theme using Desktop Properties and you have done.
4. Also make sure you have patched the "uxtheme.dll" file to allow 3rd party visual styles, if its not patched, then download and run the UXtheme Patcher from here:
